Okay, I can always tell fall has arrived by what starts coming up in my color consultations: copper, auburn, chocolate brown, everyone wants to warm things up the second the weather turns, and honestly? I love it every single time. If your “fall hairstyles” search has turned into a whole evening of saving pins, this list is exactly what you bring in with you.
Fall might be the most flattering season there is for a hair change. The color trends lean warm, which looks incredible on almost every skin tone I work with, and the styling trends lean easy and low-effort, which is exactly what you want once the weather turns. Whether you’re due for a full color appointment or just want a new way to wear your ponytail, there’s a look here that’s about to become your signature.
I grouped 25 of my most-requested fall hairstyles and colors by vibe, so you can skip straight to the one that’s calling your name.
Fall Hair Colors Everyone Wants Right Now
If you’re due for a color appointment, book it now, this is the season. Copper, auburn, and burgundy are the three shades filling my books most, alongside chocolate and dark brown for anyone easing into depth without straying too far. Caramel balayage is the move if you want dimension without a full color change, and trust me, the compliments start the second you walk out the door.
Fall Braids That Photograph as Good as They Feel
Braids are a fall staple for a reason: they’re protective, they hold up through everything from a pumpkin patch to game day, and they photograph beautifully against a warm fall color. I install fall braid styles for long, medium, and natural texture pretty much every week this time of year, and they never miss.
Fall Ponytails, Updos, and Half-Up Styles You’ll Live In
For the days you don’t want to think about your hair at all, a good fall ponytail or updo takes me under five minutes, and even less once you learn it yourself. Half up half down is what I’m asked to recreate most right now, mostly because it works no matter what your hair is doing underneath.
Easy Fall Hairstyles for Everyday Main Character Energy
Not every fall hair moment needs to be a full transformation. Simple, low-effort styles are what most of my clients actually wear day to day, and I always send them home with a quick tutorial they can actually repeat, no salon required.
Fall Wedding and Special Occasion Hair That Steals the Show
Fall is one of the busiest wedding seasons on my books, so wedding and formal hairstyle requests pick up heavily this time of year. These lean more polished than my everyday styles, but I keep that same warm, seasonal color and texture running through all of them.
Fall Hair Care: Keep the Color You Love Looking This Good
New color and cooler, drier air are a rough combination, so here’s what I tell every client: a weekly hair mask to fight the dryness, a scalp treatment if the humidity swap has your scalp acting up, and a frizz routine if fall static keeps undoing your blowout by lunchtime. Read our full fall hair care guide for the complete routine.
